Why would that keep you from going to the gym? Surely, it can't be because some women prefer to compete in either the sport or to be as strong as they want for personal reasons. Why would you avoid the gym who had these people as patrons?

to seeing women like that but hooray, if they want that or need that to do what they want then more power to them. It is about time we had the freedom to do things like this that fly in the face of the conventional, demure woman. We have chipped away at it for years and made huge progress. Keep going young women. At my age there is little I can do but hold things up from the base, I will not be pushing too many more barriers but I can sure hold the base and support the progress.

She looks amazing, I had no idea our bodies could do that. Boy does that statement make me feel awful.
